Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Zone
Tax Increment Financing (TIF) is one of the few techniques authorized under state law to promote economic development projects by cities and towns. In the City of Gardiner, applications for tax increment financing will be considered for all areas zoned for commercial development in an effort to build community and economic growth through public-private partnerships with both existing and new businesses.
Special consideration will be given to projects proposed in the Downtown Shopping District, the Downtown TIF District, the Libby Hill Business Park, and the Associated Grocers Business Park. Projects proposed in those areas of the City receive special consideration in light of long-standing goals to revitalize and redevelop the Downtown Shopping District; to develop the Libby Hill Business Park; and to grow and expand the local economy.
